Material & Methods: This study includes a total 43 cases who underwent prior FNAC followed by biopsy examination at our institute. Cytological diagnosis was compared with histological diagnosis. Results: Out of 43 cases studied 26 were benign and 17 were malignant on histology, 3 case of benign and 5 cases of malignant shows discrepancy with histology. We explain possible cause of misdiagnosis.
